then there's this...hilarious, and impressive if you're familiar...

My son’s band has a new one out. Pennyroyal and the song Woodshed.

Quote:Robert Lee "Chan" Romero (July 7, 1941 – April 2024) was an American rock and roll performer, best known for his 1959 song "Hippy Hippy Shake", which he wrote when he was just 17 years old. Romero said Elvis Presley's 1956 performance of "Hound Dog" on The Steve Allen Show was a turning point in his life. He hitchhiked to East Los Angeles, California, in 1958 while still a teenager, where he wrote "Hippy Hippy Shake" and launched his career. An uncle introduced Romero and his music to an A&R representative from Specialty Records: Sonny Bono. Bono was particularly taken with a song called "My Little Ruby" and asked Romero to polish the song and to return in a few weeks. But since Romero needed to return to school in Montana, he never returned to Specialty.

Romero's career skyrocketed with the release of "Hippy Hippy Shake" in July 1959. Released first in North America and later in Australia and the UK, it soon came to the attention of Paul McCartney who liked the song and sang it at the Cavern Club in Liverpool and the Star Club in Hamburg during his early years with The Beatles. It also did well enough in Australia for Romero to do a tour there with Jerry Lee Lewis. The 1964 version by The Swinging Blue Jeans hit number one across Europe. Romero's daughter stated in 2023 that Chan no longer received royalties for his music. Romero became the first Latino to be inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
